On April 2, 2026, many bank customers in India may be confused about the status of bank branches due to Hanuman Jayanti. Contrary to assumptions, this day is not a pan-India bank holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and banks will remain open in most regions. The only holiday observed on this day is Maundy Thursday in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. However, banks will be closed on April 3 for Good Friday, impacting operations in numerous cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. The bank holiday calendar for April 2026 includes closures on April 1 for the annual closing of accounts, and several regional festivals will also lead to bank holidays later in the month, such as Ambedkar Jayanti and Baisakhi on April 14.
